| The University of Richmond athletes Billy Fayette, Clare Moretz and Ryan Lee at the Richmond Airport before their flights to the 2011 edition and 27th running of the IAAF World Mountain Running Championships to be held on September 11 in Albania. For details of their team USA selection go HERE |
 |
| 'nough said!!! |
 |
| Those are some big team USA travel bags... |
 |
| Billy Fayette gets his books for the trip...I'm sure there will be lots of studying on this trip... |
 |
| Ryan Lee grabs his luggage... |
 |
| Billy and Clare wait to go to check-in... |
 |
| Billy gabs one more bag of books to study :) |
 |
| When I asked Billy if he was 'going to study on Friday or go to the Beach of Durres on the Adriatic Sea outside their resort hotel'...this picture shows his only answer. |
 |
| Ryan gave the same response... |
 |
| I believe they were happy to have this sign in the rear view mirror today...and they will be happy to see it next Monday when they return... |
 |
| It's about this time when they were checking in with Delta they found out their flight to NYC's LaGuardia airport was cancelled...Thanks a lot Delta! |
 |
| Delta passed them to US Airways... |
 |
| No worries from Billy... |
 |
| This is about the time they were told from US Airways this flight to JFK (not LaGuardia) was going to be 3 hours late arriving in NYC...Which means they would miss their international flight to Rome...Not good... |
 |
| A different expression after this news! |
 |
| Ryan taking control... |
 |
| Now it's time to make plans B, C and D since plan A just got flushed... |
 |
| US Airways worked it out and they would soon be on their way to JFK...Then get their luggage from baggage claim...hustle across NYC from JFK airport to LaGuardia DURING RUSH HOUR in an attempt to make their flight to Rome... |
 |
| Off they go...All I could say was "good luck"... Ultimately, after some fancy maneuvering they got to LaGuardia and made their connecting flight to Rome with 5 minutes to spare....Now they are back on schedule and with the USA team somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean headed to Albania... See...no need to stress afterall!!! |
They are in good hands, Steve!
